Trends
Kansas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win while the over is 17-8 in their last 25 road games against a team with a winning home record. Oklahoma is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. The first meeting between these two teams had 154 points between the two, and that was with Oklahoma shooting just 2 of 17 from behind the arc and Kansas shot just 37% from three in that game as well. I expect both teams’ efficiency to improve in comparison to that first meeting and if that’s the case, I think this game also flies over the number. Give me the over here.
